Angie,
You can't expect rigorous obedience positive response on a puppy that age... it takes time to achieve full control and unhesitant obedience responses... if you push him too hard, the stubborn typical Rottweiler may challenge you just to show his own will too... if you really get into making him obey you, no matter what, you may end up killing the pup's spirit (making him an insecure slave). Don't get me wrong, I recommend firm discipline and firm handling as absolutely necessary to properly raise a Rottie... but please realize how young your pup is. Be consistent and patient with your dog training method, and it will pay-off soon... do not loose your "cool" to the point that you may feel compel to resort to "drill sgt" tactics, it would only make it worse. Just keep enforcing you leader of the pack role (you are the boss), by setting the right motivation and positive renforcement. You'll do fine
